Who was sold December 26, 1919 in one of the most famous trades in the history of professional sports?
On the day after Christmas, 89 years ago, the Boston Red Sox gave the New York Yankees the gift of BABE RUTH. In the next few years, Babe would break numerous records and draw massive crowds to the Polo Grounds where the Giants were supposed to be the main attraction. In 1923, across the Harlem River, Ruth would build a house where the Yankees would play until September 21, 2008.
